### Swap Size
By default, the autolooper will execute a swap when the amount that needs to be
rebalanced within a channel is equal to the swap server's minimum swap size.
This means that it will dispatch swaps more regularly, and ensure that channels
are not run down too far below their configured threshold. If you are willing
to allow your liquidity to drop further than the minimum swap amount below your
threshold, a custom minimum swap size can be set. If autolooper is configured
with a larger minimum swap size, it will allow channels to drop further below
their target threshold, but will perform fewer swaps, potentially saving on
fees.
```
loop setparams --minamt={amount in satoshis}
```
Swaps are also limited to the maximum swap amount advertised by the server. If
you would like to reduce the size of swap that autoloop created, this value can
also be configured.
```
loop setparams --maxamt={amount in satoshis}
```
The server's current terms are provided by the `loop terms` cli command. The
values set for minimum and maximum swap amount must be within the range that
the server supports.
## Manual Swap Interaction
The autolooper will not dispatch swaps over channels that are already included
in manually dispatched swaps - for loop out, this would mean the channel is
